Michael Glover Posted: Feb 21, 2007 01:34 PM	Underground foam tank I need to construct insulated underground water storage tanks. It would be great if the whole tank could be constructed from foam. 36" dia 10' to 20' long. Any info is much appreciated. If not all foam. How would you build it.

Glenngamblin is correct that the foam would not have the structral integrity needed. Send me your specs if your interested.
